Street Stalls (The ever-popular Chinese New Year street bazaar) returns, and will operate from 18 January – 6 February 08. These stalls will sell decorations and items considered of symbolic significance by the Chinese. These include decorative gold coins, pomelos, bamboo shoots and the vast array of candied foods.

Botak Jones

Juz went to hv my lunch @ Botak Jones Clementi. Wow!! The Fish & Chips I ordered was marvellous!! =D

Botak Jones outlets are all located in coffeeshops in neighbourhood area (Clementi, Bedok, Woodlands, AMK, Toa Payoh, Depot Rd & Tuas). But they offers American style & restaurant quality food at a reasonable price. Their service are excellect too.

I normally dun eat fries, but this time I finished everything. Their fries are different from those western food stall that we normally eat. They're so crispy, they had cut down the amt of fries to be served (cos in american, they serve fries in a large amt) but if you feel that u hv not enough, can juz ask them for more, it's FOC.

I didn't bring camera that day, so no photoshot this time. Readers can check out their website here and go try it out yourself. They provide catering too.

*Cheers*
